Save the Greenway...come to Parliament House on Thursday
Posted: 28 May 2012, 21:07
Guys.....this is really, really important.
As you may know, the announced Greenway project by the last government (but as proposed by hard working local community groups with great foresight) was suspended pending further review by the current government one year ago in the budget. And the Light Rail (same corridor) was delayed.
With 10,000 signatures collected to reinstate the visionary project, the parliament of NSW are forced into a debate on the issue. This occurs this Thursday (details below)
It is really important that we get a large crowd turning up to watch the debate to re-inforce to the Govt there is a large groundswell of support for GW. We need to represent those 10,000 signatures with people turning up in numbers.
- we know the Govt is developing its own active transport proposal from White Bay in Balmain to Cooks River incorporating the GW. So the GW is not dead, there is still strong support for it in parts of the bureacracy and among councils. A large crowd next Thursday could help force the Govt to make an announcement.

Do you want to see Sydney’s first Greenway built along side the light rail extension?
The GreenWay is a proposed 5km walking and cycling link and a restored bush corridor between Sydney Harbour and the Cooks River, alongside the light rail extension. The Greenway was indefinitely deferred by the Coalition Government in last year’s budget. More information at www.friendsofthegreenway.org.au.
Then
COME TO THE GREENWAY DEBATE
at
PARLIAMENT HOUSE
At
4.15pm on THURSDAY 31st MAY
Help us fill the public gallery at Parliament House with school kids and community members to show the Government the people they are hurting by refusing to build the Greenway. The only way to get the Government listen is for the community to turn up in numbers.
The debate is on after school. Catch the train to St James Station and it’s a short walk to Parliament House in Macquarie Street.
Local MPs Jamie Parker, Carmel Tebbutt and Linda Burney will be speaking in favour of the Greenway.
There will be a short meeting afterwards for all supporters in the Waratah
Function Room inside Parliament House to discuss outcome of debate.
